Lawmakers, Firefighters Rally for Equal Benefits at Military Bases
Firefighters who protect New York’s military bases risk their lives every day – but unlike other firefighters in the state, they don’t receive the same pay or health benefits when injured in the line of duty.
Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara and Senator James Skoufis are leading the charge to right this wrong with new legislation (A4001/S6204) that ensures these firefighters receive the same benefits as their municipal counterparts. Lawmakers will join firefighters, labor leaders, and military community members seek fairness and share stories from the front lines.
This is about fairness, respect, and protecting those who protect us.
